I don't need to prove that I add value to the world. I do. I don't need to be validated by random people on social media to feel like I'm worth something. I feel obligated to go along with the crowd because success is hiding inside it, but... success is from within. Societal pressure shouldn't get to me. I want to live an authentic, happy, and fulfilled life. 

I can't handle other people's problems right now; I'm spiralling. Honestly, right now, apathy is my friend. I know it's selfish of me, but I'm faced with emotional death. Everything just feels like urchins crawling on my skin. Words can't describe the weight I carry.
